What is actually coming
The most-asked question about hair loss is “when”. This is the only honest answer to it: the dates the running trials are due to report, exactly as their sponsors registered them.
These are not predictions, and they are not launch dates. A readout is the moment there will be news, and the news may be bad. Most of these programmes will fail.
